Welcome back friends!
Let's continue getting some of you who are new to Swordcery acquainted with the rest of the Sword Classes, as well as show you a bit of the 2nd biome: The Tombs of the Forgotten.
Greatsword: Barbarians Rejoice!
Not to be confused with Titan Sword Class, Greatswords are ALSO big but not as slow on startup. They however do have slower recovery to compensate for their big damage. It features a 3 part light attack combo that ends in a flippady slam 2-hit ender for max devastation. Not to be outdone by the light attack, the heavy is the classic barbarian style whirlwind. You're able to move around as a tornado of violence! What's not to love?
Rapier: Timing Is Elegant!
The Rapier Class has exceptional reach for a mid-speed Sword Class. While wielding a rapier you get a 3 part light attack combo that could slay the Count of Monte Cristo and whoever else may have betrayed him. The heavy attack features a unique timing machine specific to the class. You hold and release at just the right moment for a BIG POKE that does sizeable damage. If you fail however, you're gonna get a dinky poke that does alot less damage and has wack range.
Dual Swords: The Damage Demons
Two is always better than one! And the Dual Swords class is proof of that. This class sports a 4 piece light attack combo that ends in a BIG X. The first 2 attacks also hit all around you for more coverage and the 3rd hits front and back! As for the Heavy Attack? It sends out a full-blown disc of pain, growing in size and duration the longer you charge it. Dual Swords are all about coverage and speed! It definitely lets you slash circles around your enemies.
Enter the Tombs
Everything here seeks to stop you dead in your tracks! Along with the usual shardling enemies, acolytes will try to encircle you with deadly ring curses and throw projectiles at you. And the ghosts, known as Phantos, will come at you with sword swipes! When they get low HP, they even try to possess other objects like lanterns or coffins to nom on you. More enemy variants incoming too!
Also in the tombs are plenty of fun things to smash. Link would have an absolute field day in here! Ancient jars, chemistry sets, old tables, candelabra...destroy it all!
And last but not least...
Here's another video about how we turn our concepts into a sword/swordcery power! Hopefully we can shock and delight you with some of these behind the scenes details. This one is inspired by the title of a movie:
